Frederick Loewe I Could Have Danced All Night
Eliza
Bed! Bed! I couldn't go to bed!
My head's too light to try to set it down! Sleep!
Sleep!
I couldn't sleep tonight.
Not for all the jewels in the crown!
I could have danced all night!
I could have danced all night!
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things I've never done before.
I'll never know What made it so exciting;
Why all at once My heart took flight. I only know when
he
Began to dance with me I could have danced,
danced, danced all night!
Servant 1
It's after three now.
Servant 2
Don't you agree now,
She ought to be in bed.
Eliza
I could have danced all night!
I could have danced all night!
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things I've never done before.
I'll never know What made it so exciting.
Why all at once my heart took flight.
I only know when he
Began to dance with me.
I could have danced, danced danced all night!
Mrs. Pearce
I understand, dear.
It's all been grand, dear.
But now it's time to sleep.
Eliza
I could have danced all night,
I could have danced all night.
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings,
And done a thousand things I've never done before.
I'll never know What made it so exciting.
Why all at once my heart took flight. I only know when
he
Began to dance with me I could have danced, danced,
danced All night!
